Ainz decided a fight in the coliseum would advertise to potential trainees so Ainzach set up a meeting with a fight promoter. Ainz met with Fluder to gather information and rewarded his loyalty with a book detailing the exact nature of souls. Meeting Osk the fight promotor Ainz takes an interest in a runecrafted sword from the Dwarven Kingdom. Osk arranged for Ainz to fight the Warrior King. Now, in the present, Ainz meets the Warrior King, a troll named Go-Gin who is quite intelligent. Deciding he likes Go-Gin, Ainz offers to hire him should Go-Gin lose
their fight and he agrees. For the sake of fairness Ainz uses no high tier magic and equips Clementine’s triple daggers. Go-Gin is thrilled to have faced someone of Ainz’ strength and swears to one day reach his level. Ainz kills Go-Gin and announces to the audience his desire to train adventurers to explore the entire world and that they need not fear death in his service as he resurrects Go-Gin before their eyes. Out of desperation Jircniv requests the Empire become a vassal state of the
Sorcerous Kingdom. Ainz hesitates but agrees to negotiate the details.
Denji eventually joins the Public Safety Devil Hunters, a government agency focused on fighting against Devils whenever they become a threat to Japan. The second arc of the story focuses on Asa Mitaka, a high school student who enters into a contract with Yoru, the War Devil, who forces her to hunt down Chainsaw Man in order to reclaim what he had stolen from her. In North America, the manga is licensed in English by Viz Media, for both print and
digital release, and it is also published by Shueisha on the Manga Plus online platform. An anime television series adaptation produced by MAPPA was broadcast from October to December 2022. An anime film, titled Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, has been announced. By August 2023, the manga had over 26 million copies in circulation, making it one of the best-selling manga series of all time. In 2021, it won the 66th Shogakukan Manga Award in the shōnen category and won the Harvey Awards in the Best Manga category from 2021 to 2023. Chainsaw Man has been overall well received by critics, who
have commended its storytelling, characters, dark humor, and have particularly highlighted its violent scenes within the context of the story. Synopsis[edit] Setting[edit] The story is set in a world where Devils (悪魔, Akuma) are born from human fears. However, individuals called Devil Hunters (デビルハンター, Debiru Hantā) specialize in hunting and employing them. The events take place in 1997, in an alternate timeline where the Soviet Union still exists, and many events such as the Holocaust, AIDS and nuclear weapons have been erased from history due to the consumption of their respective Devils by the Chainsaw Devil, with only four powerful Devils known as the Horsemen (Control, War, Famine, and Death) remembering the events.
